Just a guess, but possibly because libpq.so (the postgres client library) is not being found. 1) Do you have libpq.so installed on your system? 2) If so, where? 3) If it is not in a standard system location (e.g. /usr/lib), try adding an entry either to /etc/ld.so.conf or a file with the appropriate entry in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and then run ldconfig HTH, Joe -- Joe Conway credativ LLC: http://www.credativ.us Linux, PostgreSQL, and general Open Source Training, Service, Consulting, & 24x7 Support ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
